G. Getting Help & Practical Pathways



These describe Stop Global Poverty’s own planned programmes rather than external research, so they’re written in forward-looking language — none of the following is live yet.

G.1 Applying for a Direct Community-Led Capital Trust

How the process is designed to work once Stop Global Poverty is operational: any self-organising group of two or more people — there is no maximum — will be able to apply directly. Applications go through identity, headcount, and location verification (Master Plan Section 8.2), then scoring by the independent Allocations Committee against a published rubric (Section 8.6). Capital, once disbursed, becomes the recipient group’s own property outright — Stop Global Poverty keeps no ownership stake. Not open yet — this page will be updated with a real application link once the trust is registered and the programme launches.

G.2 Legal Aid, Land Rights & Local Advocacy

Stop Global Poverty’s Pillar 5 will offer legal aid and land-rights support once active in a country, working alongside — not overriding — customary Traditional Authorities and local legal systems, in support of the land-trust work described in Master Plan Section 4D. Not yet available anywhere, and no launch country has been set yet — this page will name the first country and how to access support once that’s decided.

G.3 Finding Verified Local Help — Using the Global Directory

Stop Global Poverty’s planned Global Directory (Master Plan Section 5) will help people find independently verified local services near them — food banks, emergency housing, legal aid, crisis support — searchable by postcode. It’s an aid-locator only: Stop Global Poverty does not route donations through it, or offer any way to give to a listed organisation. This is a planned future feature and isn’t part of the MVP. Launch order is set: New Zealand first, then country by country as each country’s verification process is proven — but no launch date has been set yet. Check back as the pilot rolls out.
